Rubicon Trail - 2025
- Thread starter matth_85
- Start date
Update:
Talked with Taylor @ OSCAR12 Saturday. Sounds like the move is to get a place in Tahoma, CA and drive to the trail. Camp mid trail and finish the next day. We will likely follow this plan. May even consider 3 days and running Fordyce Creek Trail while in the area (TBD).
Brief Schedule Thought:
Leave Upstate, SC Friday 7/11 PM with intent of driving in rotation.
Arrive in Tahoma, CA Sunday 7/13 PM and sleep in that morning. Wives and kids will fly in Sunday or Monday and rent car to meet up.
7/14 & 7/15 - Rubicon Trail & Potentially Fordyce Creek
7/16 - Fordyce Creek or drive to Moab
7/17-7/20 Moab, UT
7/21-7/24 Colorado. Heavy focus on Leadville area with potential of doing a day in Ouray to do the Alpine Loop also.
7/25-7/27 - Travel to SC

It's 38 hours of drive for us. I wouldn't be against staying a night outside of Tahoma and driving to the trail head with truck/trailer then back after the trail. Still deeply in the planning phases.
Towing triple and team driving. Potentially having 4 drivers.... It's aggressive for sure and that's why I have it set up that way with some room for issues built in. We could lose a Moab or Colorado trail day dependent on the drive. Definitely some room for change there. Even potentially going earlier and utilizing July 4th as a drive day is a consideration.
My brother is going and he's a damn trooper behind the wheel. I can also pull my weight pretty well. We did all the way to Kansas City, Kansas in 2020 without much break. Todd on the other hand is the risk behind the wheel...lmao.
